It’s been a little while since we had news of a new location opening the doors probably due to most places trying to get open at the beginning of the summer. For this location it’s not 100% clear which day this year it opened but it was recent. The Route 66 Arcade Museum is something you might miss when in the town of Atlanta, IL (yes Illinois not Georgia), unless you know exactly where to look. Fortunately this video, which seems to be the only information online about this museum at the moment (doesn’t seem to have a website, Facebook presence, etc), shows you where to find them as well as the many retro games inside. To better fit into the retro game museum theme, “nothing they carry is newer than 1981” according to the info but as a commenter pointed out below, Ms. Pac-Man is ’82. Either way, pre-crash era titles. This also means a lot of EM games, which you generally don’t find concentrated into one place very often. Either way we wish them luck in the business and if you find yourself in the area, make sure to check it out!
